Important: Do not open the fuel tank when
parked on a hill. The fuel could spill out.
4. Add fuel to the fuel tank, until the level is even with
the bottom of the filler neck. Do not over fill the fuel
tank.
5. Install the fuel tank cap and secure. Wipe up any fuel
that may have spilled.
Note: If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This will
minimize possible buildup of condensation inside the fuel
tank.
Using the Rollover Protection
System (ROPS)
•
Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked position and
use the seat belt when operating the machine.
•
Be certain that the seat belt can be released quickly in
the event of an emergency.
•
Be aware there is no rollover protection when the roll
bar is down.
•
Check the area of operation and never fold the ROPS in
areas where there are slopes, drop offs or water.
•
Lower the rollbar only when absolutely necessary. Do
not wear the seat belt with the roll bar folded down.
•
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e. branches,
doorways, electrical wires) before driving under any
objects and do not contact them.
